Quizzes – active learning, guided inquiry
Student centered learning environment.
Investment in time for techers to change.
Quiz, lecture – task - explain

Evolutionary biology

Actively involved
2 quizzes – a) Learning readiness quiz take individually + learn from + b) taking this as a team
  • Lower levels ( paracite host relationship = the smart ones do all the work)
  • Convince ( they are smarter toghether than working as individuals – buy into teamwork
  • Leads to discussions and refletions. 15 minutes’ quiz (10 minutes discussion)
  • Takes the teacher out of the content – don’t disturb the students, be an impediment
  • Physical scratch – an answering sheet-touchable – can’t be erased. Low tech.
  • Individual quiz + team quiz create points = add up to 10 +5 % of grade.
  • Two types of questions ambiguous and r/w questions – argue your answer.

Why – taught to students

  • Kolb’s learning Cycle ( neuroscience): plastic brain, neural connections, rewiring.
  • Emotional component. Make decisions when learning/real life expecrience
  • Physical movement in the classroom is also important. (Moves)
  • Making memories stick – structure (Brown, Make it stick)
  • Work on hypothesis.

  • Bloom’s taxonomy
  • Students come prepared to class and they work on the taxonomy.
  • Backward design.


Class: What do you want to do after this education – building motivation
Task: story relationship, breaking up. HIV positive. Police ( experts in evolutionary biology). Accsation news article. What can you do to help.
TASK:
Police: What kind of data would you collect? Hink indiv + then in teams.

  • Roller i teamene hele året
  • Alle må forberede seg ved å lese pensumtekster.
  • En counter som plukker ut teamene som skal referere . En gruppes argumenter bygges videre på i neste gruppe.

Learning objectives and criteria:
Explain

Interprete

Team members divide 100 points by the end of the year. This contributes to the result. They then care bout other team members- responsible to eachother – prepare for class

Theory

  • Critical thinking –
Active learning ( all students learn more-failure rate goes down- convept inventories increased by 0.47 under active learning). Control groups with lecturing is not ethically correct.
  • Lecture-free is not the best apporach, but good when limited to 10 minutes.
  • Inquiry based
  • Problem-based

Room: Monitors-grupperom som i fremtidens klasserom.
Technology: multitasking – students self correct. Tweet all friends: knock it off.
Teams: account for sex ratio, same team the whole semester.
Bloom’s taxonomy: construct tasks as you move up. Offload the low leves from the textbook as homework/self study. Work from Applcation, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Low, mid and high level Bloom. Quiz are low level Bloom. Exams are high level Blooms, nye kontekster

Assessment: S, F and S&F
Summative assessment: exams. Formative assessment: quiz, tasks.

Metacognition: Flavell, 76)Life long learning. Strategies to make learning happen. Make a system about how to learn. After som e years, people will stop giing you tests. You will habe to regulate your own learning.
  • Every single week, they hand in metacognition. Read them and grade them. Uses what they understand, struggle with and how to adjust next lesson.

Backward design: learning goals for students used by instructor. Learining objectives are measurable and made for the students. Assessment – how to assess students/ demonstrate that you understand. ( Many forms, F&S) Create a learning environment.

The lesson: Introduction: engagement (Video), use data to understand-higher level Bloom at the exam.
Implementering: gradvis evolution, not revolution.Literature is clear. Students learn more from student centered activities.

Mapping: what they are learning to the learning objectives. Vis læringsmål og vis hva de lærte . Lære om teamwork, feedback, be andre lærere inn, networking communities.
